Game Cube rule
(telegra.ph)
Be sure to follow the rule before you head out.
Rule: You must post before you leave.
I remember taking a design class in the 1990s right after GC came out, and the professor basically said "this will be used as a demo in intro design classes for the next century." I thought it was hyperbole, but people still talk about it.
But the GameCube was released 2001
I think the logo was teased at least a couple of years earlier, iirc.
Oh yes I am dumb, of course there was information about a console before release...
